After returning home, Fang Yi lay on the bed and kept thinking about what Liu Hongshuo said to him that night. The more he thought about it, the more sense it made. As he thought about it, he became a little curious about the old man Liu Hongshuo.
Fang Yi got up from the bed, turned on the computer, and then opened the kitten. After a connection sound, Fang Yi went online. He ran directly into the jar he often visited.
"Which of you knows Mr. Liu Hongshuo?" Fang Yi glanced at the jar and typed out a line of words.
In less than three seconds, someone answered: "Liu Hongshuo? Is he Liu Hongshuo from Shiyi?".
"Yes!" Fang Yi typed two words.
"That old man is very good. He is one of the best oil painters in China! He is one of the few people in China whose oil paintings can be sold abroad and even recognized by foreigners!" replied the man just now.
As soon as this person finished speaking, another person typed a line: "I am from Shiyi. This old man is difficult to get along with. He is known as a killer in our school. When other people call their names before class, this old man can't tell for sure.
, as soon as he remembers it, he will call his name immediately, sometimes before class, sometimes after class, sometimes during class. As long as you fail to come after being called by him three times, you will not even think about passing, and there will be no make-up exams, only retakes! So his
No one has the guts to run away from class, even if you sleep with your eyes open you have to sit in class!".
"You're not just in high school, why are you asking him?" an enthusiastic person who had passed several pictures to Fang Yi asked Fang Yi.
Fang Yi called directly: "I saw him today, but he looks very nice! He is as scary as the people above said!".
"Hey! Little friend, then you can wish yourself well!" said the man who claimed to be Shi Yi just now.
"Don't listen to their nonsense! This old man Liu Hongshuo is still very powerful. The old man who returned from studying in France did not study abroad for two years, but stayed in France for five or several years, and then traveled to Europe for a few years.
. His realism skills are very good. He can be said to be the best in China. He was a little famous when he was abroad! After returning to China, he came to Hangzhou United States and worked with the old dean to carry out the teaching reform in Hangzhou United States. After a few years, it was completed.
Because there was too much resistance, I originally hoped that the old dean of Hangmei could take over after he resigned. However, the old man had a bad temper and his interpersonal relationships were really bad. At that time, the country was not as open as it is now. Many people said that if he was not good enough, he would not be able to become the dean.
Later, he left Hangzhou Mei and went to Stone Art, where he has been until now! But looking back now, he did make a great contribution when he was in Hangzhou Mei. Now there are several young and middle-aged painters who have graduated from Hangzhou Mei. Almost all of them are
It was cultivated when he was here!" One person said it loudly, seeming to understand the old man very well.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone said: "This old man is a completely Westernized thing. He is completely copying the academic education of the West, especially French painting! I would say that Hangzhou and the United States have done a good job of driving him away! A completely Westernized art education is not effective at all.
Suitable for our national conditions! Foreigners are good at everything, even the moon in foreign countries is round! What’s the worst thing to see is this kind of old traitor! France is so good, why not stay in France? Isn’t it that you can’t survive and come to China to work?
Brands that have studied abroad are cheating money!”.
"Don't mistake ignorance for your character! If you introduce the French academic system, you are a traitor? Mr. Xu Beihong introduced French academic sketching when he was at Central Academy of Fine Arts. Then Mr. Xu is also a traitor! If you don't learn anything, you are a patriot?
Don't even learn Newton's three laws. They were discovered by the British Newton. Don't even learn the theory of relativity, which belongs to the Germans and Americans!" Someone immediately retorted: "Then why do you want to learn oil painting? Oil painting.
It’s something Western in itself!”.
“I just say don’t be completely Westernized, Chinese oil paintings must have something of their own!”.
"Who dares to say that Chinese oil paintings don't have their own thing? Many of them are their own! It's just that when you put it out into the world, no one else will agree with you. It's just that you close the door behind closed doors, and then everyone sits down and admires it in isolation!".
Fang Yi saw that his words had caused a debate, and he had to repeat it, trying to change the topic: "I really think the old man's standards are very high! I want him to give me more pointers."
"Then you have to ask for blessings." The kind person who passed the painting to Fang Yi said immediately: "To be honest, his level is definitely considered to be top-notch among the oil painters in China, and he is one of the few who can sell a painting in the international market.
Chinese painters whose paintings sell for more than 100,000 U.S. dollars, including Chinese Americans. Anyway, I know of only three who have more than 100,000 U.S. dollars, Mr. Zao Wou-Ki from France, Mr. Ding Shaoguang from the United States, and Mr. Liu Hongshuo, but Liu Hongshuo
My husband’s paintings were sold abroad more than ten years ago, but now the price of his paintings in the international market is hard to say!”.
"That old man has such a weird temper. What he said upstairs is not easy to get along with. It's true and he is extremely arrogant." At this time, a person jumped out and said, "How old are you? It's impossible for you to want him to give you guidance. You should be down-to-earth."
Don’t be too ambitious in your paintings, lay a solid foundation honestly, calm down and don’t think about some crooked ways!”.
Looking at this person's words, Fang Yi didn't know what to say. He just wanted the old man to give him some advice, and the old man had already given him some advice tonight, so why did this become a crooked way?
Fang Yi, a newbie in the art world, still doesn’t know that being a disciple of a famous teacher means that you will have to make fewer detours than others. For example, when you hold an art exhibition, when someone asks you who you learned your paintings from, they will directly tell you the teacher.
With his name, others would definitely say: Oh! So he is a disciple of Master XX.
Even if you praise yourself in a newspaper, adding a celebrity teacher can at least make the flattering article look more credible! It is not the same at home or abroad, having a good teacher can also make you more noticed than others.
.
After listening for a while, Fang Yi closed the chat room directly. This is nothing! A group of people can't be reliable. Fang Yi threw his body on the bed in frustration. Fang Yi held the back of his head with his hands and looked at the ceiling, thinking about Liu Hongshuo.
Some comments for myself.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. It felt like I had smoked a cigarette, and I didn't feel sleepy at all. I turned over and saw the alarm clock on the bedside. It was already 1:30 in the morning. I got up and left the room.
Men carefully poured himself a glass of water. Then he went back to bed, took off his clothes and got into bed, turned off the light and closed his eyes to prepare for sleep.
When he lay down and closed his eyes, Fang Yicai discovered that the things in his mind had changed a little. The original main stage column had changed from basic painting exercises to painting techniques. Other things had not changed much. It turned out that
The basic painting practice only improved the experience bar a little, but the master status column was still empty.
Fang Yi did some research and was very sure that it started to change when he was painting oil paintings, so this painting technique must be the technique of oil painting. However, there is no experience bar or anything behind it, which makes Fang Yi a little strange.
Fang Yi fell asleep after thinking about it in his mind for a while.
He went to bed late last night, but Fang Yi only slept four or five hours a night. At seven o'clock, he jumped out of bed energetically and started his day.
I go to school during the day and hang out in stone art at night. When Zhou Tong's studio is open, I go in to paint. When Zhou Tong's studio is not open, I go to Tian Yue's class to hang out.
Every time Zhou Tong's studio opened, in addition to Fang Yi, Liu Hongshuo would also come. For several nights in a row, the old man would watch Fang Yi painting from behind.
Now Liu Hongshuo and Teacher Sun had the same feeling after Fang Yi entered the school's art classroom. Fang Yi made progress too fast. Every time Liu Hongshuo pointed out shortcomings or areas that should be paid attention to, Fang Yi would paint the next time.
These areas can always be improved.
Every time Fang Yi looks at Zhou Tong's paintings, he can always absorb something from Zhou Tong, and this kind of thing sometimes shows up in his own paintings. But Fang Yi doesn't just copy them, he combines these good things.
Transform your thoughts into what you want.
When another night came to an end, Liu Hongshuo left the studio. In the entire studio, there was only Fang Yi and the female model that Fang Yi had painted for the first time.
"It's been so long, and I haven't introduced myself yet! My name is Zhao Jie, and I'm now a part-time portrait model at the school," the girl said, extending her hand to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi smiled and looked at the girl and shook her hand: "My name is Fang Yi!" It was the first time for Fang Yi to shake hands with someone, and he was not used to this kind of etiquette. Fang Yi was still used to nodding and smiling.
Zhao Jie seemed to notice that Fang Yi was not used to it and quickly changed the topic: "You are really good at painting, and you are guided by Teacher Liu every time. As far as I know, there are not many teachers of stone art who can get his guidance."
indivual!".
"I'm so lucky!" Fang Yi said with a smile. In the past few days, Fang Yi clearly felt that Old Man Liu was coaching him more and more attentively. Now basically every half an hour, Liu Hongshuo would
He would discuss it with himself. First, let Fang Yi express his thoughts, and then Liu Hongshuo made suggestions. After the two people discussed it, Fang Yi started to draw.
It's just that the two of them were talking about color, form, and composition! They didn't touch on oil painting techniques. So now Fang Yi is still showing off his gouache techniques with oil paints.
In the past few days, as Liu Hongshuo became more and more interested in Fang Yi, Zhao Jie remembered what Zhou Tong said to him: If you want to learn sketching, follow Fang Yi. In the past, Zhao Jie looked down on Fang Yi. A seventeen-year-old child drew
Where can he go if he is so good? Secondly, he thought Zhou Tong was just using Fang Yi as an excuse and did not want to teach him.
"Do you live on campus or outside?" Fang Yi left the studio, closed the door and asked Zhao Jie.
"I rented a house outside, about ten minutes away from here!".
As they walked, Fang Yi felt that he had nothing to say and had to find a random topic: "Is the rent of a house expensive?".
Zhao Jie said with a smile: "Six hundred and fifty a month means basically spending one-third of my income. If I hadn't been a part-time model, I wouldn't have been able to afford the rent!".
"This is very expensive," Fang Yi nodded and said, as if he knew the rental market very well.
"There's nothing you can do about it being expensive. The urban village where I used to live has become cheaper, but there are everyone there. It's too unsafe. It's not suitable for me to live there as a woman." Zhao Jie glanced at Fang Yi who was walking next to him and said.
Fang Yi from Chengzhongcun knew that one of his classmates lived there, and many of them were nightclub princesses or pretty boys. Anyway, let’s not talk about that place.
